Keurig® Platinum B70 Gourmet Single Cup Coffee & Tea Brewing System

Took awhile to convince my husband this was a good thing. Now he''s totally sold and our poor little "regular" coffee maker is feeling neglected. Whatever Keurig you choose, be sure to get the My K-Cup so you can use any type of coffee you wish. This is the thing that sold us on the unit. The K-cups are fairly expensive themselves, but the fact that I can still buy my own gourmet, locally roasted coffee and grind perfectly to use in my Keurig has me tickled pink.

We purchased one which came with an assortment of 60 K-cups as well as the My K-cup unit. Really enjoying trying the different flavors that came with the unit. When using the My K-cup, it took a few tries to get the right grind, but once you find that with your grinder, you''re all set. I saw several comments by others that the coffee was very weak, and found the following Amazon reviewer''s suggestions very helpful: Perhaps not the greatest solution long term, but until Keurig can fix the design flaw of the My K-cup, it''ll do.

I love the following features:

Auto on and off: the unit is ready when I stumble out of bed and feel my way to the kitchen. I have it set to turn off in an hour.

Multiple cup sizes

The unit is rather large and takes up some space, but it''s totally worth it. We are keeping our "regular" coffee pot for occasions when we just want to make a pot of coffee, but we are really loving our Keurig!

I just got this machine & my Coffee tasted burnt. My water temp was at the higest setting 192. I thought that temp my be too high,so I set it to lowest setting of 187 & my coffee is perfect & still hot enough for plenty of half & half. The burnt taste is gone. This setting may differ in all machines,so if your getting a burnt taste with your machine,try different temp settings. You just got to find your "Sweet spot" :)

This is PERFECT if you are an everyday or even casual coffee drinker. I love to make cold coffee with it. I got a huge assortment of the keurig cups and have been using them a few times a week. Every flavor I have tried so far has been good. The coffee maker itself works flawlessly. My only complaint is that it''s sort of hit or miss on how good the coffee will taste when you go to the larger cup sizes. I like to brew the normal size first then re-brew and see if it still holds flavor.

Also, I don''t like how expensive the cups are. While, I have a lot of cups right now, I have a feeling if I used this more frequently I''d be spending way more money. I do have the my k-cup so I will probably end up using that.

I rated this 5 stars because the coffee maker itself is great. Works great, I love how I can fill it up with a lot of water and make a few cups any time I want. Very easy to use. It came with 60 k-cups and while they aren''t the more desired flavors (to me), they are still good to get a feel for the coffee maker with.

This is a great machine but only when it''s working properly. I''ve had to return two units to the store I bought them from (luckily they (starts with "C" and ends with "ostco") have a GREAT return policy). The two units eventually stopped working right and couldn''t pump out the water or the right amount of water... and yes, I did try descaling them. The last one that I just returned today was descaled TWICE to try to get it back into working order, and each time I went much further than the descaling instructions called for... not only that, I always used filtered water to begin with.

Even the new one I replaced it with seems like it is not working perfectly as it still seems to struggle to get the water out or get the right amount of water out. We''ll see... I''ll give it 6-9 months of life before I probably have to return it too.

So I only feel comfortable giving this unit 2 stars because of the reliability problems I''ve had with them.

It''s interesting to note too, that although it''s the same model ("B70"), they''ve made some "improvements" in the versions I''ve had... like supporting an additional cup size (added when I returned my 1st unit) and now a bigger water reservoir but they still call it the "B70". I''m not sure if I like the bigger reservoir as it seems a bit large, taking up more space, but I do like its new lid design where the front of the lid flips open so you can easily add water and then flip it back closed. Now if only they could improve the reliability.

UPDATE 2013-03-14: The unit I''ve been using for the past few months is still WORKING! At this point, I''d normally have run into problems and had to return it, but perhaps they finally fixed this issue. The unit has basically been trouble-free and I have not experienced "short cups".

Unfortunately, despite the fact that I love having a single serve coffee maker, my second Keurig B70 just died. Dead. Kaput! It is just over a year old. No warranty. I miss it, and don''t know what to do. It''s an expensive machine to just die after a year. So I can''t give it a good review
